I am using the plugin on the News theme and like it. Is there a way to add another one for the primary sidebar so it can have tabs? Plus be able to select how many posts etc. I guess I am asking to you have an Feature Widget Amplified with a Tabs ability? or vice versa.

You should just be able to drag the another Genesis Tabs widget into the primary sidebar and change the settings there for what you want to display in the primary sidebar. Make sure to leave the original widget in the home top sidebar too but they can have different settings.
